train in Ohio, about two hours west OF
Colunb bus. It was now moving upon
single tra.k lines, and its printed special
time card bore the legend, This train
will run extra with absolute right oil
way ever all trains" The night had
been passed comfortably by the ex-
cursionists, and without notable Incl
dent. A brass band serenade was e1-
perienced a little before midnight, and
from time to time at stopping places,
voices were heard calling to each other
in the darkness, "Where is he2" About
1000 persons were at the station In
Columbus, when the train arrived al
4.3O o'clock. They were very quiet,
gathering about the rear platform,
and contenting themselves with
looking at the car which contained
the President. A telegram had been
received by Colonel Lamont, at Pitts
burg, from Congressman Cultivate,
urging g stop at Columbus, but the reply
was made that owing to the early hour
it would be impo sIble.
In Bradford Junction, at Z O'Clock,
the President made his first appear
ance and greeted the little crowd of a
hundred or more, which had gathered
about his car with a hearty, Good
morning" We would like also to
see your wife," said one of the crowd.
THAT is impossible, now" replied the
President, "she has hard days task
before her, and is resting" well we
are right glad to see you sir, +" said the
spokesman of the crowd. 81 thankyou
for that" rejoined the President, but
of the two expect you would prefer to
see Mrs. Cleveland" At Richmond
Ind, a half acre of solid humanity
awaited the train. The i've minute
stop was spent in hand shaEing, the
President remaining upon the platform
hands reached up to him.
Breakfast was the only incident of
the run from Richmond to indian
apolls. The day was cool, but prom
ised TO be fair. The prairie and States
were not seen at their best. Cora stood
whitening in rows or rotting in stacks,
and wheat fields we're stretches of grey
stubbles and weeds, but the woods were
every where glorious, the yellow tlnts
becoming brighter and the purple more
pronounced as progress was made west
ward.
The day dawned here in drizzie, and
the outlook for the reception was gloomy
enough, but the Presidents good
luck brought him burst Of sunshine as
the procession moved. 1t was too late,
however, to contribute towards swell
ing the crowd, and the number was
not so great as it would otherwise have
been. Still, it has been exceeded here
only by the crowd that greeted
Blaine. The line of march was
straight down Washington Street
from the railroad crossing, where
the President left the car to the
State House, where be was formally re-
ceived, and held his reception,
is Just about a mile in length,
and on either side the walks were
packed with people The view up
the street was an inspiring enc, with
breeze enough to make vista of fut-
teriug coiors. The procession moved
promptly on time, IL O'Clock. First
came q squad of mounted police; be-
hind came the moving mass
with flying flags and the flash
ing of military accourements;
next came the governors staff, in ger-
geous official uniform, while behind
marched platoon of police, followed by
a band of musicians. Behind those
marched the light infantry, making a
striking display; then the chief mar
shall. General Knefter, and staff, and
Immediately following come the Presi
dents escort by the Hendricks Ciab, to
the number of 200 or 800 uniformed.
Their appearance was made coaspicu-
GUS by tall hats of gray with
black bands, black clothes, the
club badge, and cane carried
by each member. The club formed
in hollow square, surrounding the
Presidents carriage, and followed at
either side, relieved in rows two abreast
The open carriage, hidden almost by a
drapery OF flags, was drawn by eight
powerful grey horses, gayly compari-
soned. On the back seat to the right
sat the President; by his side was Mrs.
Cleveland. On the opposite seat was
ex-senator Mcdonald, the three being
the sole occupants. The progress of the
cheers, but chiefly by the shriIl
cries and catcalls of boys.
Hats were waved, and handkerchiefs
duttered from every window, but mani
testify the carriage was the chief object
of the eyes, and curiosity looked its
full. The President, in his customary
suit OF black, with hat to match. mani
tested a presence that met all that high
expectation had looked for. Curiosity
and criticism were alike satisfied and as
the carriage moved slowly up the
street, there was distinctly felt social
atmosphere and greeting which was
tribute altogether fitting and. of finer
flavor than the noisy demonstration
of political gatherings. The general
manner gave this out as the crowd
swept over the curbstones into the
street making two great streams OF
people flowing down behind the escort
ing clubs; men and women with babies
in their arms, and children were I'm

the streets, aud yet withal there was
nothing motley in the mass. It was
